Bob Brooks honored by C.R. Community Schools

Bob Brooks broadcast his first high school football games from Kingston Stadium in 1952 and still visits the facility in search of good stories for his radio and TV shows.

Starting Sept. 30, he'll be reporting from the Bob Brooks Press Box at Kingston Stadium.

The Cedar Rapids Community Schools have decided to rename the press box in Brooks' honor and make him the first member of the new Kingston Hall of Fame.

There will be a ceremony at Kingston Stadium on Friday, Sept. 30 during halftime of the Jefferson and Kennedy football game.

"I'm humbled by it, of course," Brooks said Monday morning. "It's nothing I expected or thought about. I certainly appreciate the kindness."

The new Kingston Hall of Fame will recognize significant contributions made to the success of activities performed at Kingston Stadium, according to Dr. Dave Benson, the superintendent of Cedar Rapids Community Schools.
